White Winter Hymnal

I was following the pack
all swallowed in their coats
with scarves of red tied 'round their throats
to keep their little heads
from fallin' in the snow
And I turned 'round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall
and turn the white snow red as strawberries
in the summertime

Top Players: Holby is awesome we rock.

Everyone else: Blah blah blah. Whine whine whine. *Holds fist to air* Swearing vengeance. But only figuratively.

I tend to find chaos more entertaining than order ( Holby, SS and Fairmaid have kind of put order into place) but to stay alive I go with the flow. I'm interested to see if it maintains like this for a long time (I think it will to be honest). I just don't know if it's possible in game to do anything to a group that powerful and full of veteran players.

Take what you want from it.

The term empire derives from the Latin imperium. Politically, an empire is a geographically extensive group of states and peoples (ethnic groups) united and ruled either by a monarch (emperor, empress) or an oligarchy.

Etymologically, the political usage of "empire" denotes a strong, centrally-controlled nation-state.

An imperial political structure is established and maintained two ways: (i) as a territorial empire of direct conquest and control with force (direct, physical action to compel the emperor's goals), and (ii) as a coercive, hegemonic empire of indirect conquest and control with power (the perception that the emperor can physically enforce his desired goals). The former provides greater tribute and direct political control, yet limits further expansion, because it absorbs military forces to fixed garrisons. The latter provides less tribute and indirect control, but avails military forces for further expansion.

-Terrifying to say the least.

Empires.



"In the eyes of empire builders men are not men but instruments"

Napoleon Bonaparte

"An empire founded by war has to maintain itself by war."

Charles de Montesquieu

"A great empire, like a great cake, is most easily diminished at the edges."

Benjamin Franklin


Which one is the best description of the in game empire?
